Everything was pain.

Not the sharp kind.

Not the kind that burns or cuts.

This was the kind that erases.

I had no body.

No breath.

No skin.

No heartbeat.

I was not floating.

I was not falling.

I simply was.

A cluster of scattered thoughts drifting in something that was not dark and not light.

Who am I?

The question did not sound like a voice.

It was more like a ripple in still water.

Where am I?

There was no echo.

Why?

The word fractured.

When?

Time did not exist here.

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Blood Oaths

    Aella POVThe following days were... different.Sol didn't mention our argument again.Not once.He didn't bring up Elias.He didn't bring up the Silver Pack.He didn't bring up me running into danger alone.But I could tell.The Bond told me.His actions told me.His silence told me.He was worried.Not panicked.Not angry.Worried.Deeply worried.The kind of worry that settled into a person's bones and refused to leave.Sol stayed close.Always.If I was reviewing reports, he was reading beside me.If I was meeting with nobles, he was handling Academy paperwork nearby.If I walked through the Void, he somehow ended up walking through the Void too.He wasn't being controlling.That wasn't who Sol was.He was simply... there.Present.Watching.Making sure I was safe.Part of me wanted to tell him he was being ridiculous.The other part remembered the look on his face after the Silver Pack attack.Remembered the fear.The desperation.The honesty.A few words weren't going to fix tha

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Things Worth Burning For

    Aella POVThe argument started the moment we returned from looking at the blood binding texts.Not immediately.At first there had only been silence.The dangerous kind.The kind that settled into the Bond and made every instinct inside me nervous.Sol had barely spoken during the trip back from the Silver Pack.He answered questions.He listened to reports.He made sure the children were safe.But underneath it all, I could feel it.Anger.Not directed at the pack.Not directed at Elias.At me.I found him standing alone on one of the balconies overlooking the Void.The realm glittered beneath us.Cities were growing.Roads were forming.Light existed where once there had only been darkness.It should have been beautiful.Instead, the atmosphere felt heavy.I approached slowly."Sol?"He didn't answer immediately.His shoulders tensed.The Bond pulsed.Fear.Anger.Relief.All tangled together.Finally, he turned.The expression on his face made me freeze.Not because he looked furio

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Blood and Boundaries

    Aella POVBy the time the last mutant fell, I was exhausted.Not the kind of exhaustion that came from paperwork.Not the kind that came from raising three impossible children.Battle exhaustion.The kind that settled into your bones.The kind that made every movement feel heavier.The battlefield was silent.At last.The Silver Pack still stood.The resort still stood.The people had survived.That should have been enough.But it wasn't.Because Elias would return.He always returned.I stood overlooking the rebuilt pack lands while healers moved among the wounded.The scent of smoke still lingered in the air.The ground remained scarred from the battle.Evidence of how close we had come to disaster.Again.Beside me, Sol remained quiet.Watching.Thinking.Planning.I knew that expression.He was already looking toward the next threat.The next battle.The next problem.The next way to protect everyone.And honestly?So was I.Because surviving wasn't enough anymore.We needed preve

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Against the Timeline

    Aella POVThe dead should have stayed dead.Yet all around me, the battlefield moved.Mutants that had fallen minutes before dragged themselves back to their feet.Broken bones snapped into place.Torn flesh stitched itself together with shadow.Empty eyes glowed with corrupted darkness.The Silver Pack warriors who had survived the first assault stared in horror.Some stepped backward.Others tightened their grips on their weapons.Everyone understood the same thing.The battle wasn't over.It had just started.At the center of the carnage stood Elias.Calm.Composed.Almost amused.As though raising hundreds of dead monsters was nothing more than a casual inconvenience.The shadows around him moved like living creatures.Whispering.Crawling.Breathing.I hated him.Not because he was powerful.Not because he was dangerous.Because he kept choosing this.Again and again.Every chance he had to stop.Every chance he had to heal.Every chance he had to let go.And every time he chose

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   The Attack on Silver Pack

    Aella POVRunning a kingdom was somehow harder than fighting for one.At least during a battle, you knew who your enemy was.Paperwork was relentless.It never slept.Never surrendered.Never stopped multiplying.The Void had awakened thousands of citizens over the last few weeks, and every single one of them needed somewhere to live.Somewhere to work.Somewhere to belong.Hunter and I had spent days reviewing records, family histories, settlement claims, and land grants.The old ruling families had mostly disappeared.Some lines had died out entirely.Others had fractured beyond recognition.The Void needed new leadership.Not tyrants.Not figureheads.Administrators.People capable of rebuilding what had been lost.Unfortunately, that meant endless meetings.I was currently staring at a report detailing agricultural production when Hunter slid another file toward me."This one."I looked down.A woman named Helena Arcturus.Former settlement leader.Apparently she had organized and

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Ghosts of the Past

    Aella POV The throne room had never been so productive. Which was honestly alarming. Dozens of reports had been organized. Territorial maps had been sorted. Population records had been updated. And somehow, despite being barely more than a baby, Althea had become the unofficial supervisor of the entire operation. The little girl sat in her high chair beside my desk. Tiny crown still perched on her head. Several maids were openly consulting her before making decisions. I had stopped questioning it. For the sake of my sanity. The Void seemed delighted. Chaos seemed delighted. Order seemed proud. The three of them together worried me deeply. I was reviewing a proposal for a new settlement when a familiar warmth brushed against the Bond. Sol. Before I could react, sunlight burst into existence in the middle of the throne room. The portal expanded. Golden. Bright. Warm. Home. I smiled immediately. Then froze. Because Sol wasn't alone. Queen Samantha stepped thro

  • Bankrupting the Alpha: Crowned by the Dragon King   Sol POV

    -------SOL ---------------- She was gone. Just like that. Gone. No scream. No body. No blood. Just empty stone where she had been standing seconds before. My knees buckled before I realized I was falling. Linus caught me under the arm, steadying my weight like I weighed nothing. “Sol?” Hi

    We walked quickly toward the access doors of the Silver Tower. Bruno—the Tiger Alpha—was already speaking into his comms, his voice clipped and controlled. “Monarchs have arrived. Repeat—Monarchs have arrived. Maintain barricade positions. No one breaks formation without direct authorization.”

    The transition from "Ascended Monarchs" to "starving shifters" happened remarkably fast. For hours, we were buried in vellum and leather. We moved through stacks of ancient scrolls, but it seemed the Great Library of the Queens had a sense of humor—or a very mundane side. We found "The Little Drag

    Samantha’s voice, though raspy, carried an ancient authority that made the room go still. She leaned forward, her violet eyes burning with a desperate warning. "The Altar of the First Flame is not just a pile of ruins," she whispered, her gaze darting between Sol and me. "It is an ancient legend,
